Employment Law

Employment law cases require strategic advice, negotiating skills and a professional sounding board. That applies to both employers and employees. Our Employment Law practice group has the expertise required to advise both employers and employees on employment-law and pension-law issues in a broad sense.

Our Employment Law practice group specialises in pension law, procedural law and cross-border employment law. We can assist and advise you, for instance, with regard to employment contracts, dismissal processes, pension agreements, amendments to collective pension schemes, and due diligence investigations. We litigate in such cases when necessary.
